I hope BDM offer you some money back... Sounds like they lifted your leg.... And kicked you in the balls.

Just finished an email to them expressing my sheer frustration!

TT lower arms:
Has everyone else has bad clearance issues? The car is/was quite low admittedly but has been raised about 12mm all round and still catches.
It didnt seem to catch when very roughly set up, but did hourendously after alignment at BDM.
I'm going to raise it again but feel I'm just undoing the camber I bought the adjustable arms for in the 1st place?
Any input welcome :drinking:

Hi Mike,
I would suspect that you are running >2 negative camber and 8x18 ET 45 TD's. Am I right?
With this setup my car would definitely have problems. I do not know how much Seat Leon's have front clearance but if you have rubbing issues than I would say you have 3 options:
1. remove the TT arms
2. see if you can do something to the inside of the fender so that the clearance will increase (the mk5 has a bolt that has to be removed and that gives more clearance.
3. buy some wider fenders (I am doing this at the moment; I am buying some Kerscher fenders but they don't have any products for Seat :sad1:)
I'm afraid that by lowering the negative camber will give you only a few millimeters of extra clearance.

I will raise the car a little more and look at having the arches modified.
I will scan the printout when I get chance.
Thanks very much for your input Rex
